This shoe is ideal for runners who prioritize advanced cushioning, impact absorption, and a blend of performance with everyday style. It's well-suited for daily training, road running, and those seeking comfort for extended periods.
Can I wear these shoes for casual everyday use?
Absolutely! The New Balance 860v2 combines its running technology with a sleek design, making it a stylish and comfortable option for casual wear, walking, commuting, and general daily activities.
How do I clean my New Balance 860v2 shoes?
To clean, gently wipe the mesh and leather uppers with a soft brush or damp cloth using mild soap and water. Clean the rubber outsole with a brush and water. Always air dry the shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
What is N-ergy cushioning?
N-ergy is a New Balance cushioning technology, typically found in the heel, designed to provide superior shock absorption and a responsive feel, converting impact energy into forward momentum.
What does the ABZORB midsole do?
The ABZORB midsole is a proprietary New Balance technology that acts as a blend of foam cushioning and compression set, effectively absorbing impact forces through a combination of cushioning and compression resistance, providing lasting comfort.
Are these shoes suitable for long-distance running?
Yes, with its robust N-ergy and ABZORB cushioning systems, the 860v2 is well-equipped to provide the comfort and impact protection needed for longer distances in road running.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel too tight or loose.
Adjust the lacing tension. For a tighter fit, pull laces firmer. For more room, loosen them gradually. Consider trying different lacing patterns, such as skip-lacing certain eyelets, or ensure you have the correct size for your feet.
Foot discomfort during long runs or extended wear.
Ensure you've completed a proper break-in period. Check your socks for proper fit and material. If discomfort persists, consider if the shoe's support level matches your biomechanics, or consult with a specialist for gait analysis. Also, ensure the shoe is the correct size.
Squeaking noise when walking.
A common cause is friction between parts of the shoe or between the shoe and the surface. Check for debris lodged in the outsole. If the squeak is internal, it might be due to a loose insole; try removing and reinserting it or replacing it if worn.
Decreased cushioning or responsiveness over time.
Cushioning materials can compress and lose effectiveness over many miles or extended use. This is normal wear and tear. If you've put significant mileage on the shoes, it might be time to consider replacing them to maintain optimal support and impact protection.
Upper material showing signs of wear or separation.
Inspect the affected area. Minor scuffs on leather can sometimes be buffed. For mesh tears or sole separation, apply a shoe-specific adhesive for small repairs. For significant damage, it may indicate that the shoe has reached the end of its functional lifespan.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
First-Time Setup
- Lacing: Before wearing, ensure the laces are properly threaded through all eyelets. Adjust the tightness to achieve a snug, secure fit without being too restrictive. A good lacing technique can significantly enhance comfort and support.
- Initial Wear: Wear the shoes for short periods initially to allow them to conform to your feet. This "break-in" period helps optimize comfort and performance.
Compatibility
- Foot Type: While specific arch support information is not provided, the robust cushioning system generally suits a wide range of foot types, including those seeking neutral support with excellent shock absorption.
- Activities: Ideal for road running, daily training, walking, and casual everyday wear.
- Surfaces: The durable rubber outsole is designed for optimal traction on paved roads, sidewalks, and indoor surfaces.
Product Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning Uppers: Gently clean the mesh and leather overlays with a soft brush or damp cloth. For tougher dirt, use a mild soap mixed with water. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Cleaning Outsoles: Remove dirt and debris from the rubber outsole using a brush and water. Ensure no small stones or objects are lodged in the tread.
- Drying: Always air dry your shoes at room temperature, away from direct heat sources like radiators or sunlight, as these can damage materials.
- Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve material integrity and prolong their lifespan.
- Avoid Machine Washing: Do not machine wash or tumble dry your shoes, as this can severely damage the cushioning, adhesives, and overall structure.
